To all the others that asked me some questions, i want to apologize for not being able to answer. I'm not an expert...I'm just a guy that had a bricked unit, just like you, and didn't rest until i figured how to save my investment.

I also have an F900BT...and it's rebooting...have tried various different solutions to fix this problem...but all ultimately fail...

...this looks like a great thread, and special thanks to the OP for taking the time to help others - I've downloaded and extracted all the files to SD cards...question though - before I try this, does anyone know if this will work if you have Version 2.0090000 currently installed?...the reason I'm asking is that the Pioneer web site suggests that if you upgrade to Version 3 (which this seems to do) without first having CNSD-100FM installed it will totaly brick the unit?

...well, finally plucked up the courage to try this...and it worked (thanks and total respect to the OP)...but only for a day!!!...did everything as noted, and for a day I had super fast tough screen control, the latest maps, no booting problems, etc...but when I turned the ignition this morning - nothing...I'm now at the point that I'm convinced this unit is never goinna work (has anyone ever had a F900BT that has worked as intended without any problems?)...

...I've now tried every solution to get this re-booting issue fixed, and I'm out of patience...

...right now I feel like stripping this piece of utter crap out of my car, smashing it into as many pieces as possible, and sending it back to Pioneer with a note telling them that this is what I think of their product, their customer support and their after sales service...

...anyone got any recommendations for a replacement unit in the £300-£400 price range?...that isn't a crap Pioneer?
